Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The objective of this technical cooperation is to promote economic and social empowerment of women in Latin America and the Caribbean. In particular we want to contribute in a measurable manner to women's economic and social empowerment, and to their active and productive participation in the economy. We can do this by empowering the rural women, and the ones working or interested to join the energy sector. The specific objectives are to: (i) support the implementation and effective execution of the gender activities of the operations under execution; (ii) mainstream diversity-related analysis, actions, and results into the Bank's operations in the energy sector; (iii) Knowledge and Dissemination: Support the development of a knowledge agenda that contributes to generating data and evidence in order to disseminate the work that the Bank is doing in gender and energy.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB

The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
